i'd guess that this would work fine seeing as it just takes a file as an argument.

> - if not, what are the steps for creating a minimum viable cfs partition
cfs will format the partition it is given. i use this to run cfs on a ramdisk.

> - how does cfs= in plan9.ini interact with tls booting
works fine for me. i enter my secstore password, cfs is run, then init runs /bin/rc.

> - does that, or cfs -a work with current auth and encryption.
i dont know about cfs -a. it gets run as cfs -s -f $cfs </srv/boot in bootrc.
